Summary

This is the rather large television located in the classroom. Due to its size and weight, it's probably best to avoid moving it, even if it's to attempt to plug something in. Most of the inputs have been exposed at the front of the TV, so you shouldn't need to.

Status

The TV works, but theoretically it needs a new bulb and calibration, so it's not as vibrant as it could be and trims the image slightly. However it's perfectly usable.

Usage

Powering On

The power button is below the screen on the right hand side. Due to the fact it's a rear projection Television, it takes a while to warm up. Don't expect to be able to see anything on the screen until 30+ seconds after it's been switched on. There are some status lights on the right hand side of the TV towards the bottom.
